Pros

Some learning is involved, but it's not worth it compared to the daily stress and struggles you have to face.

Cons

Working here was a terrible decision. The work-life balance of employees was a joke, and each day was full of horribly exhausting challenges. As a startup, they didn't have enough resources, but wanted employees to go a few hundred extra miles regularly. It was awful.

Thank you for the feedback. We believe in work-play-learn and attempt to give equal emphasis to all three. As an organization, we try to strike a balance between work and play by having meeting free Fridays, flexible leaves, weekly sports outings, and hybrid work options to name a few.

Pros

If someone tells you they had a great time working for Kickdrum, they are lying to you!

Cons

Working for Kickdrum was such a miserable experience! My salary was low, my work-life balance was awful, and there wasn't any room for growth/advancement, but the biggest headache about working here was the leadership! They were incredibly controlling and micromanaged employees. Their constant meddling made our jobs a lot more difficult and made it almost impossible to meet deadlines on time without working overtime. Definitely wouldn't recommend working here to anyone!
